SSNS air OF mingled respon-
w sibility and anxiety
with her youth, whom the others seem TO
depend on and look to for many comforts.
She is the girl who helps mother. 10 her
home she is q blessed little saint and
comfort. She takes unfinished tasks from
the tired, still fingers that falter at their
work; her strong, young figure 10 a stan
upon which the gray-haired, whlte,faced
mother leans and is rested. She helps
with the spring sewing, with the
weeks mending, with a cheerful CONVEX
and c~ongenial companionshlp that
some girls do not think worth while vast
on only mother. And when there
comes a day when she must bend, As girls
must often bend, over the old wornout
body OF mother, lying unheedful IN her
coffin. rough hands folded, her long dis
quiet merged in rest, something very sweet
will be mingled with her loss, and the girl
who helped mother will lind a benedictiOn
of peace upon her head and in her heart.
The girl who worked-God bless her
is another girl whom | know. She Is
brave and active. She is not too proud 10
her own living, or ashamed TO be
caught at her daily task. She IS studious
and painstaking aud patient. She smiles
at you from behind counter or desk. There
is q memory of her sewn into a silEen
GOWN. She is like a beautiful young noun
taineer already TAR up the hill, and the
sight of her should a fine inspiration for us
all. 1t is an honor to know this girl-to be
worthy OF her regard. Her hand may be
stained with factory grease or printers
ink, but it is an honest hand and a helping
hand. 1t stays misfortune ron many
homes: it is the one shield that protects
many a forloru little family from the aims
house and asylum.

been by any means numerous, but the

II is rumored several other events are on
the taps for the near future, but cards are
not out u for them yet. And right here
it may be we'll to say to those who do no

are looked for early fall. Young folks or
their elders, for that matter, show good
sense in choosing the melancholy days for
the mmencemen of the honeymoon.
